Human nature is ingrained, in times or great distress mythical figures rise to show the way. Stories of great become embellished and the legrend is born. EVER notice the story line is the same? The names and places change but it always to be lead out of darkness into the light. I hope my tone does not give the impression I'm mocking Jesus, I think it is important to give people hope and inspiration and that is what the stories of Jesus do. IMO

I think that Jesus was a Bodhisattva who basically incarnated, became enlightened and chose to teach others how to become enlightened too. As a mystic and a Yogi (he lived in India with the masters of the day), he learned the sciences of healing and manipulating elements - which can be learned, and which he tried to teach. When he appeared to be 'empowering' people who were previously oppressed by Rome and the Jewish leaders they sought to get rid of him - as he was appearing to be a Messiah character.

I also believe that he could be placed historically at a previous or later date than our current history teaches and that he could have been the once and future king Arthur Pendragon. Some historical timelines have Jesus, Mary and the whole lot of them in Scotland fighting Rome, instead of Judea fighting Herod. (Google Isle of Sky). Ralph Ellis has many compelling arguments on the whose who in 100CE/AD placing Jesus as a Royal born Jewish leader in the line of King David whom the other Jewish leaders of the day and Rome (he fought taxation) wanted him gone, so he was killed.

I like to think of him as King Arthur with some very unique skills. Merlin, the famed magician could also have been the man/mystic Jesus as he had the powers to get others attentions. These stories and accounts, claimed by Ellis to be 'fictionalized' to hide Arthur teachings from the destruction of the Catholic Church fore fathers who would have wiped the Arthurian legends from the history books.''

Since the advent of the Sumerian cuneiform tablets have been revealing that there was a God (Anu) and two sons who fought (Enlil -Sky God, and Enki -Water Serpent God), the ideas of the legends of Thor, Loki and Odin come to mind... by overlaying the previous legends with different names.Then you find evidence of Hadad, Mithra, Baal, and other Storm 'Gods/gods' in the pantheon throughout Jewish history/Religious History. So, had Jesus been the 'son' of God, he could take the place of Thor/Enlil as he was witnessed to being able to calm the storms? There is so much and it goes so deeply that this study can keep one entertained for decades... This could all be a good fiction story of good and bad as a reference for life lessons, a religion to worship, but it can also be just a very interesting study.

It has been shown he was a historical figure. His true self and his movement has been embellished and greatly exaggerated for political purposes.

He was born a Jew, lived as a Jew and died as one. He never started a new religion.

Jesus was a Buddhist monk who also was a prince, he was crucified by the Romans but didn't die, then ran back to his home in India.

I think he’s a historical figure that was used to create a bs religion.

According to the Bible, Jesus of Nazareth was a teacher. Was he the Messiah? Maybe, and what is messiah really mean? I don't think it means a divine supreme being. Someone of great character, maybe. A leader, maybe; just not an eternal, omniscient, omnipotent being.

He's based off the Egyptian god Horus.

A good Jewish eyngl with some modne ideas.

Just some radical dude that the upper level religious people put on a pedistoool to prolong age control over the masses and for the most part it has done its job.
